New computer processors from Intel Corp, due out in 2011, can be disabled using an SMS poison pill message sent over any 3G cellular network. The new anti-theft feature, which Intel has dubbed Anti Theft 3.0 will only be available for devices using Intel s latest Sandy Bridge microprocessors. Intel is planning to unveil the new chips at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January. The addition of a 3G kill switch for Intel is just the latest evolution in its hardware-based anti theft technology.
